Thanks a Lot for the reply.
More clarifications from my side are as follows.
1)We are trying to port a fully developed software which does communication from external world via TCP/IP and X.25 protocols.The original code is on COmpaq(little-endian) and it is to be ported on HPUX(big endian).
2)When same code is running on both HP and COmpaq platform,will the macros __BIG_ENDIAN__ and __LITTLE_ENDIAN__ in file /usr/include/netinet/in.h be defined automatically or we have to define on compliation.

Hi all
I know AIX is big-endian machine.But does it read bytes in normal way from LSB.
Does it happen in some machine that at multi-byte integer level it is Little-endian and while reading a single byte it is Big-Endian.
This is urgent
Thanks in advance. (3 Replies)

Hi everybody,
I met this week a problem.

hi folks, in the sparc v9 manul , it says it is possible to access the memory data in little-endian mode, but there is only privilaged instruction that could set the PSTATE ( the cle bit ) regist. if I'm in the user mode , is it possible for me to access the data in little-endian mode? (10 Replies)

Hi!
I have a major issue with FreeBSD 7.1 i386.
We did a change in our Unix env where we exchanged home storage from a NetAPP running udp to a NetAPP running tcp.
Now I cant mount homedirs since NFS/AMD seem to fallback to udp :(
Trying to force it with amd options nfs_proto=tcp and so on.

DESCRIPTION
The bswap16(), bswap32(), and bswap64() functions return a byte order swapped integer. On big endian systems, the number is converted to
little endian byte order. On little endian systems, the number is converted to big endian byte order.
The be16toh(), be32toh(), and be64toh() functions return a big endian byte ordered integer converted to the system's native byte order. The
return value will be the same as the argument on big endian systems.
The le16toh(), le32toh(), and le64toh() functions return a little endian byte ordered integer converted to the system's native byte order.
The return value will be the same as the argument on little endian systems.
The htobe16(), htobe32(), and htobe64() functions return an integer in the system's native byte order converted to big endian byte order.
The return value will be the same as the argument on big endian systems.
The htole16(), htole32(), and htole64() functions return an integer in the system's native byte order converted to little endian byte order.
The return value will be the same as the argument on little endian systems.
The be16enc(), be16dec(), be32enc(), be32dec(), be64enc(), be64dec(), le16enc(), le16dec(), le32enc(), le32dec(), le64enc(), and le64dec()
functions encode and decode integers to/from octet stream on any alignment in big/little endian format.

HISTORY
The hto*() and *toh() functions first appeared in NetBSD 1.5. These were later ported to FreeBSD 5.0. These functions were originally
introduced to handle PCI bus master devices that (via DMA) transfer little endian data even on big endian systems.
The encode/decode functions first appeared in FreeBSD 5.1. These were later ported to NetBSD 3.0 as a part of the uuidgen(2) support.
